I'm driving from London to Turkey to feed my passion for food and travel on a delicious journey through Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and more... it's a loosely-planned adventure, so I could end up anywhere!
Thanks for watching and please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss any of the incredible places and foods I discover.

When in France do as the French do: Shop at the hypermarket!
The French love their daily visits to la boulangerie and other neighborhood stores, but like many people in the rest of the Western world, they also like deals and convenience. They have shopped at les hypermarchés (hypermarkets,) since the 1960s. French Girl in Seattle takes you around one of these superstores and shares her favorite products and shopping tips.
What you will learn in this video:
- Find your way around a French hypermarket and learn handy shopping tips.
- Pronounce French words and brand names.
- Identify some of the best products one can buy in a French supermarket.
Tutorial / Things to Remember:
- un hypermarché (a hypermarket, a superstore) (Edouard) Leclerc, Carrefour, Auchan, Géant Casino, and more, typically located in the suburbs.
- This store's location: le 93 (la Seine St Denis, east of Paris.) All French administrative geographic subdivisions are identified with two digits (found in postal codes and other places.) Downtown Paris is 75.
- La parapharmacie: Quality beauty products found in most pharmacies or in the parapharmacie section of many hypermarkets.
- Apéritif (Apéro:) Refers to a favorite French ritual similar to Happy Hour, and to food and beverages served to celebrate that special time of day (saucisson, dry sausage, being a favorite.)
- Bio (biologique,) organic products. Trendy!
Disclaimer: Brie is a cheese, and also a region outside Paris, not a city. The two main cities where Brie is produced are Meaux and Melun. I realized this while listening to the video afterwards! ;-)

Experience the Champagne Region in France aboard Hotel Barge Panache
Few places on Earth can boast the name recognition of Champagne in France. This renowned region, famous for the sparkling white wine that bears its name, is also the birthplace of chivalric romance and has been at the crossroads of Europe since Roman times. You can taste the history, heritage and culture in every glass.
The Champagne cruise takes guests along the River Marne through the heart of the Champagne region. Excursions include a visit to La Maison Pannier, a renowned champagne house founded in 1899, where guests will be treated to an exclusive tour of its labyrinth-like cellars and a private tasting. Guests will also enjoy a tour and tasting at another select champagne house, Domaine Ployez-Jacquemart, near Reims, established in 1930 by Marcel Ployez and his wife Yvonne Jacquemart.
The cruise, in which vineyards come down to the water’s edge, also includes a tour of the village of Hautvillers, known as the “cradle of Champagne”. It is here that almost 350 years ago, the monk Dom Perignon discovered the “méthode champenoise,” a special – and many consider the best – way of getting the “sparkle” into the wine, and guests will enjoy a “degustation” of champagnes at a delightful boutique. The magnificent Baroque Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is also on the itinerary, as is a visit to the city of Reims with its Gothic cathedral where 25 Kings of France were crowned.
The Champagne region of France features the stunning landscapes that inspired Impressionist artists such as Renoir. Today it continues to draw visitors and wine aficionados from around the world who wish to sample the famous product that sets the gold standard for sparkling wines.
The River Marne flows from Epernay to Paris, meandering through the beautiful region of Champagne. There is a plethora of vineyards spread across the undulating plains as far as the eye can see and there will be plenty of opportunity to sample the sparkling wine to which the region has given its name, including private tastings at renowned champagne houses.
This is also a part of France that is rich in both modern and ancient history and during our voyage we visit a number of significant landmarks, châteaux and one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in the country where 25 kings of France were crowned.
As well as Champagne, the region is rich in other delicious products, particularly its wonderful creamy cheeses, with the towns of Meaux and Coulommiers at its heart.
Cruise Highlights
• Enjoy private winery tours and tastings at renowned Champagne houses such as Maison Pannier
• Visit the village of Hautvillers where Dom Perignon discovered the Méthode Champenoise
• Tour the majestic cathedral in Reims, where the Kings of France were once crowned
• Cruise the pretty River Marne past waterside vineyards

What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especiallly on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans. The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
European Waterways offer luxury hotel barge cruises on the beautiful canals and rivers of Europe, such as through Burgundy, the Midi, Alsace, the Po Valley, Holland and the Scottish Highlands.
The exclusive collection of hotel barges accommodate up to 20 passengers who may charter a whole barge with family or friends, or join a small group of like-minded travellers on an individual cabin basis.
Each barge is fully crewed with a Captain, chef, hostesses, deck-hand and tour guide. The 6-night cruises include gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, excursions and the use of facilities such as bicycles and spa pools.

Champagne Tour between Paris and Epernay
The region of Brie, Dom Perignon and Moët & Chandon
This route between Paris and Epernay is mouth- watering: the best wines and champagnes as well as the famous Brie are produced in this region. The delicious sparkling wines are the only ones in the world entitled to bear the name “Champagne” and since 2015 the vineyards and wineries in this area grace the World Heritage List.
From or to mondain Paris
Start or finish in cosmopolitan Paris where the tour guide will show you the city’s many highlights such as the Notre Dame, the Louvre, Centre Pompidou and of course the Eiffel tower. Follow the river Marne along cozy towns such as Meaux and Epernay through a hilly area where chateaus, Champaign houses and charming villages alternate. It is here that you see the world famous campaigns Veuve Cliquot and Dom Pérignon being produced.
Relaxation and exertion
Stimulate the taste buds at a tasting event in Epernay or during a visit at one of the many wineries along the route. Enjoy the splendor of the Avenue de Champagne where winery Moët & Chandon and others are located. Besides the relaxing wine activities a certain amount of effort is also required: the daily cycling distances range from 30 to 50 kilometres (18-30 miles), partly on country roads, unpaved roads in hilly terrain with heights of up to 350 meters. In order to enjoy these cycling tours a good level of fitness is required.
Places to see in ( Valence - France ) Chateau de Crussol
Places to see in ( Valence - France ) Chateau de Crussol
The Château de Crussol is a mostly-ruined 12th century limestone castle in the commune of Saint-Péray that dominates the valley of Rhône, just opposite Valence in the Ardèche département, Rhône-Alpes région of France.
Located over the peak of the hill of Crussol, at the edge of a cliff over 200 metres above surrounding plain, the castle overlooks Saint-Péray in the west, and Guilherand-Granges and Valence in the east. The site comprises about 3 hectares, including the Vilette, a small hamlet of about a hundred houses, and the castle itself at the top of the hill. The entire grounds are enclosed by ramparts that are still quite visible.
The hill of Crussol has been occupied since Roman times. Initially, it was the site of a temple, which was subsequently extended with a fortified building to the south in the course of the 5th century, but was abandoned in later centuries for the present site. The first fort, probably built in the 10th century, was made of wood and was destroyed in a fire. It was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century, by a lord named Gerald Basset, in order to control the existing transportation route along the Rhône River.
At the end of the 15th century, the Crussols were linked by marriage to the Uzès. The castle was abandoned for the more comfortable Château d'Uzès. During the Religious Wars, the castle was taken and set afire on several occasions by various warlords. It was finally sacked in the 17th century. On September 3, 1855, a mine explosion in the quarry under the castle destroyed part of the building. Lightning further destroyed part of the keep in 1952.
The site was classified as an official historical monument of France (French: monument historique) in 1927. The commune of Guilherand-Granges bought the ruins in 1984, even though the site is technically within the boundaries of the commune of Saint-Péray. The inter-communal syndicate of these two communes and Soyons are jointly engaged in the restoration of the castle.
